It's Saturday evening and we are still here!!!!! Ben's white blood count is still zero and his platelets aren't much better. They gave him platelets for the third time this week. Of course now he gets Benedryl and Tylenol before any blood products just in case.... They say he can't leave until his counts are better. Probably a good thing in the long run, but man we are tired of this box!!!!! On the bright side, the sun is out in Seattle. While we can't go outside we have great windows on our box!!!


Our box is big enough to ride around the room on his rocket.

Here is Ben making his own fun....he decided to wear my shoes. He managed to do pretty good. We have also launched blocks with the construction truck, shot saline across the room from a syringe, and built swords out of thermometer covers. Life is what you make of it! Hope you are all having fun!
